In Carson City, three bills related to Lake Tahoe have survived the committee process to move to full legislative consideration. All three deal with the relationship between California and Nevada.

Three bills that would bring changes at Lake Tahoe have passed
their initial deadlines and will move to the full Nevada
Legislature.

The bills are related to Nevada and California's relationship at
the lake. One bill withdraws a previous Nevada law to dissolve the
California-Nevada compact to manage Lake Tahoe development. The
senate narrowly approved that bill on Monday on an 11-10 vote. Jeff
Cowen of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency explains what's at
risk.

COWEN: "There has been a lot of collaboration about
environmental restoration and aquatic invasive species
protection."

Now that bill goes to the assembly. Another controversial bill
would give public access to private beaches in Nevada, much like
California already does.

COWEN: "It would bring both sides of the lake a lot closer
to conformity in regards to public access along the
shoreline."

That bill now goes to the full legislature. A third bill has
already passed the assembly. It would allow boaters who pay
California's invasive species fees to use the Nevada side of the
lake without paying the fees a second time.
